Goal Post Rule
Portland - (UPD - Football
Coach Ben Martin of the Air
Force academy said today
lengthening the- goal post
crossbars is a good idea.
Martin, here to attend a
dinner meeting tonight to
meet local prep coaches and
athletes, added that the wider
posts would have helped the
Falcons in their Cotton Bowl
game against Texas Christian.
The Air Force missed three
field goal tries in the score
less tie.
Martin said Air Force
coaches have studied pictures
of football games played by

Three Contests
First Christian added two
victories last night in the
YMCA senior church basket
ball league.
The quint played a two-min
ute overtime to nose Zion

Manley had nine points for
Christian and T h o m p son
seven for Methodist last night
while E. Paterson put in 20

pleted fray and Shaw 13 for
the Lutherans.
First Baptist trimmed Pres
byterian 26 to 11 and First
Christian bounced St Mark's

the Grizzlies. Other conference
battles of the week end will
have Crater at Ashland on
Saturday. Crater is at Bend
for a non-leaguer this evening.
Almost Must
While the SO conference
season is not too far under
way and a lot of games lie
ahead, victory for Medford
is almost a must tonight to
keep in contention for the di
adem. Triumphs by Grants
Pass over both the Black Tor
nado and Pelicans would give
the Cavemen a fat lead in the
circuit.
On the basis of conference
play so far, Grants Pass will
h at least a slight favorite
over the Black Tornado this
evening. The Cavemen have
this rating on the basis of
their 62 to 51 win over Klam
ath and Klamath's 70 to 61
margin over Medford. GP also
has a 64 to 37 verdict over
Ashland which the Tornado
defeated 55 to 39. However,
Medford tipped Crater by a
slightly wider margin than
did the Cavemen. Tornado
gap was 60 to 37 over the
Comets while GP was victor
55 to 34.
Moore Seeking

heavyweight champion Archie
Moore, recipient of the Ed
ward J. Neil Trophy for
"Fighter of the Year," took
a verbal punch at England's
Henry Cooper today and of
fered him $150,000 for a fight
in London or anywhere.
Dapper Archie, 42 or 45,
said "I'm dead serious about
this. Jack Kearns and I will
definitely give Cooper a guar
antee of a hundred and fifty
grand if he'll fight me. It'll
be the first big step in my
campaign for another shot at
the heavyweight title."
Moore, the ring's all-time
knockout king with 127 kay

of his offer today because at

Detroit Signs
Pietrosante
Detroit -(DPD- The joy in the
Detroit Lions' office Thurs
day was understandable. The
Lions, who hadn't known
many happy days last season,
were rolling out the red car
pet for their number one draft
choice, Nick Pietrosante of
Notre Dame.
"There hasn't been this
much excitement around here
since Hopalong Cassady first
signed," said a secretary.
Its rare for a professional
team to call a news confer
ence when a rookie is siened
Usually that's handled bv i
form news release. But to the
Lions, Pietrosante is the
rookie.
Although slowed down bv
a bruised rib and charley
horse last season Pietrosante
who gained 556 yards in 117
carries for a 4.8 average was
named . the most valuable
player of the East-West Shrine
Game and starred in the Hula
Bowl against a team of pro
fessionals.
Pietrosante said he signed
a one-year contract but the
terms were not disclosed. He
said he had decided on play
ing American football even
before the draft.
Klamath Falls is rated
above Grants Pass in the polls
despite the loss to the Cave
men. Grizzlies Hop
Crater holds a S3 to 37 nod
over Ashland but the Grizzlies
are hoping that the familiar
surroundings of their home
court will be a boost toward
their first victory of the sea
son. Improvement evident i n
practice this week has bol
stered Tornado spirits for its
trip to Grants Pass. This im
provement has been so gen
eral that Coach Frank Roe
landt has been at a loss to
name a starting five. He said
this morning that the opening
line-up will be named from
among eight men, Jerry An
derson, Lowell Dean, Ken
Durke, John Harvey, Jerry
Shults, George Koch, Booth
Deakins and Don Peek.
Pete Rasmussen has rehurt
the back which has kept him
out of action and Coach Roe-
landt said that his presence
with the squad tonight is
doubtful. The rehurt occurred
off the practice Court. Dick
Allen, missing a couple of
Pass;
Tonight
days because of an ear infec
tion, returned to the squad
yesterday.
Caveman Starters
Coach Gordon Prehm may
have Johnnie Olson, John
Fox, Jerry Putnam, Rex Ben
ner and Dick Hayes in the
Caveman starting five. GP
has capable reserves in Jim
Purkett, Rick Sabin, Mike
Leonard and Dave Mannan,
Marv Chandler, Larry Jans
sen and Ron Erickson.
For the Klamath Falls and
Crater games, Coach Earl Iba
is expected to pick Ashland
starters from among Clark
Smith, Jim Bjork, Bob John
son, Gerald Allen, JDoug For
rest, Don Taylor and Steve
Gray. Possible opening men
for Klamath are Bob Lewis,
Jim Hall, Bob Peterson, Don
DeLap and Dean Dunson.
Crater's opening whistle
five against Ashland depends
on the Bend performance to
night, coach Don Anielak
said. He'll likely pick from
among Bill and Tom White,
Dennis Pfaff, Jim Eldred,
John Burns, Chuck Turner,
Loyal Higinbotham and Mike
Kins.

Tenth Triumph
By Villanova
United Press International
Say, how about taking a
little notice of unsung Villa-
nova, which has won 10 of its
11 games already and is stack
ing up as one of the surprise
basketball powers in the
East.
The Wildcats can't be found
among the top 20 teams but
practically every game finds
them winding up on top.
Among their victims so far
this season are Pennsylvania,
Duke, Temple and Seton Hall
Thursday night, the Wildcats
added Brandeis to the list
with a 101-75 licking.
It's quite a reversal of form
over the ordinary 12-11 rec
ord Villanova posted last sea
son. The Wildcats only loss
this season came at the ex
pense of St. Joseph's, Pa.,
after they had won their first
eight games.
